Aske (Norwegian for Ashes) is the second release by the Norwegian black metal artist Burzum. It was recorded in April and August 1992, and released in March 1993. Bass guitar on the EP is performed by Samoth of the band Emperor.[1]
The cover is a photograph of the Fantoft stave church after its arson. Varg Vikernes (aka Count Grishnackh) was strongly suspected of burning the church, and the photograph is widely believed to have been taken by Vikernes himself.[2][1] A limited edition of Aske was packaged with a lighter.[3]
Aske was later re-released as Burzum / Aske alongside the songs from Burzum's debut album.
